Initial thoughts
I’ve been really drawn to Lee Friedlander’s photography; the reflections and distortions in his work remind me of a Che music video. I love how his images use glass, mirrors, and windows to blend realities and create layered, almost dreamlike moments. The reflective aspect makes me think about identity and perception, and I want to experiment with that myself using metal, glass, and water to explore how we see and interpret the world around us.

The warrior was by himself at the end of the table with his half-frozen cape, as if blowing in a wind only he felt. Above him, as he lay, a vast horizon of glass and iron blotted out the heavens. To everyone else, it was just a room with windows — but to him, it was a realm awaiting discovery.
Small as he was, his heart was big. He’d been engaged in unseen battles, and now he stood still, not out of fear but with a mission. The glass building reflected the city back at him, and reminded him that even the grandest worlds are built one step at a time.” The horizon lay before him, and silence behind; the warrior was accustomed to walk forth, whatever met the light.
- Shallow Depth of Field:
The background is intentionally blurred, keeping the viewer’s focus on the warrior and creating a cinematic look. - Foreground Emphasis:
Placing the warrior in the foreground makes him feel important and central to the story, even though the environment is much larger. - Leading Lines:
The lines from the windows and furniture subtly guide the viewer’s eye toward the figure and the “skyline.” - Natural Lighting:
Soft window light creates a calm, realistic mood and avoids harsh shadows. - Rule of Thirds:
The warrior is slightly off-center, which makes the composition more visually interesting and balanced. - Scale Contrast:
A small subject against a large background emphasizes the theme of courage and perspective.
Sports
Playing sports can be filled with emotions. Athletes might feel nervous about try-outs or before a big competition, upset about losing or performing poorly, or excited and happy after a big win or a major accomplishment. To perform well in sport, athletes can learn to manage their emotions and cope with stress. However, some emotion regulation and coping strategies might be more useful than others.

Aaron Siskind
You might be wondering who made these fantastic pictures abstract photos, and that person would be a great Aaron Siskind. Aaron is one of the first to create abstract art. He revolutionized the game by making different types of abstract art.
Today, I will give you my opinion of one of his artworks.
If you look at this photo, you can see how abstract it is
- First, you can see how the picture is black and white
- Second, you can see the cuts on the thing Aaron was trying to take a picture of
- Lastly, you can see how these cuts are in somewhat random places
If I was a photographer, I would call it “The Lost Star.” This is because the cuts look like they make a dark star in the middle of the photo.
The cuts seem weird, but they also look somewhat planned.
My Mexican
Hey, my name is Adrian I am 14 and a slave I lived through this terrible revolution. Come and join me while I live through this tragic revolution.
After this horrific revolution, a lot of things changed such as the violence that continues to thrive on the streets of Mexico. Some other things that stayed the same were economic struggles that Mexico still has to go through to this day. There were also so things that changed like, laws such as Prosperity and repression under the PRI. This law made it so the government would be in charge of a percentage of land, they changed they changed the government from a dictator to a democracy , and rights were changed.
“We won but at what cost?” The Mexican Revolution in plain English. 🌮🇲🇽🩸

“I want to die as a slave to principles, not to men.” “I forgive those who murder and steal because they did it out of necessity, but a traitor never.” “If there is no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government.” “It’s better to die upon your feet than to live upon your knees!”
-Emiliano Zapata
When I say Mexican Revolution what pops into your head. Probably nothing the Mexican Revolution doesn’t get talked about as much as another Revolution. If asked people to tell you anything about Zapata, Díaz, Madero, Huerta, Carranza, or Obregón they wouldn’t have an idea who they are or what they did. Nobody would know about Madero going against Diaz in 1910, The Battle of Juarez: April 1911, Madero being elected president in 1911, the ten tragic days in Mexico in 1912, or Carranza being elected president in 1917. Come and dive in with me to learn about a vary complex topic like the Mexican Revolution and learn about it in simple and digestible way.
WATCH OUT (THIS IS A FATAL BLOG)
Fatal Fever, by Gail Jarrow, explains how a girl named Mary lived her life as a carrier of a deadly fever. This book is set in Manhattan in 1903, Mary the protagonist is very stubborn. One thing this book touches on is how the health department started to take away Mary’s human rights. The plot of the book is how Mary is slowly spreading this fever around the city, and how the health department is trying to find out who is the carrier of Typhoid Fever. Slowly but surely the health department finds out that Mary was the carrier. READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
This page of my notebook talks about how the health department took away Mary’s human rights. This page goes into detail about how the health department trapped her on North Brother island for over a year even though she didn’t show any signs of Typhoid. This page also talks about how the health department published information into the public eye without her consent.
This page of my notebook talks about the cause and effect of this book. For example, typhoid is spreading the effect that people fear for their lives. It is interesting to see how people reacted to these problems.
On this page of my notebook it talks about the setting of the book and so describing word that describes the setting that we chose. For example, if the setting was jail I would say it is scary, dirty, and rough. It is sad to think about how the trapped Mary in this horrid place
For my last page, I was interested in what solitary confinement would look like in 1903 because it talked about it in the book. So I researched solitary confinement in 1903 and this is what I found out it is quite tariffing to think about.
